Convert changeset(s) to shelveset

It is possible to create a shelveset from a changeset with some limitations. I needed to rollback a change from a branch to remove it from a release but it wasn’t in any other branch either so I wanted to keep the change in a shelveset. I achieved this as below:

  • Rollback the changeset and check in the rollback.
  • Rollback the rollback changeset. This gives me a set of pending changes containing the original change.
  • Shelve the pending changes.

You could apply this technique to the case described in the question but it would be a lot of manual effort as it would have to be repeated for every changeset. It would also generate a lot of mess in TFS as you would have to check in the rollbacks of the rollbacks too.
